Editions Jetpack · Jetpack paid plans ($) Job Postings
Pros Many modules in one plugin, each switched on separately; Brute-force protection and an image CDN without extra services; Contact form with Akismet spam checks and entries kept in admin Schema.org JobPosting markup on each job; Job listing, category, search and single-job shortcodes; Application form with reCAPTCHA verification
Cons Needs a WordPress.com connection to work fully; Usage tracking runs once the site is connected, with no separate toggle found; Paid plans gate some features, such as multi-step forms Application form uses Google reCAPTCHA when enabled, which loads a Google script; Bundles a TCPDF library for PDF export; Settings sit under the Jobs menu rather than Settings
